The St. Cloud school board is
considering the matter of having
the bills of the board printed in

A Willow River man has receive letters patent on a me-

in the world for the merchant
in the small towns.—Mesaba

Base Ball Game,
The Iirst game of base ball of
the 1913 season will be played
on the local diamond next Sunday afternoon, when the Pierz
All Stars and a picked nine will
cross bats for supremacy. Ther.e
is no good reason why Pierz
should not have a lirst-class
team this year. The best of
material among our young men,
is at hand to make a good fast
team. All that is needed now,
is a little practice to develop
the boys into shape that they
may win and hold the pennant.
Whoop er up you rooters.
